DAVID B. BUTTRILL,OF MANSFIELD, TEXAS.

COMBINED SCRAPER AN'D FENDER.

Specification of Letters Patent. APatented NGV. 15, 1910.

. Application led Jene 6. 1910. Serial No. 555,289.

To all 'whom it mm] conm-n:

. vBe itknown that l.- Davia ll. llvrritini., a citizen of 'the United States. residing at lilansfeld, in the count)Y of Tarrant and State of Texas, have invented a new and 'Improved Coi'nbiiied Sei-:iper and Fender,Y of which the followingr is a specification.

This invention relates t'o plow attachments and'more partieularl'v to deva-es for regnlat-ingr the ploivs l'oi' ditlerent. purposes and the object it toi'irovide inexpensive devices for'attacliing disks to plow stonk-s and for controlling tlie'disks to i'iiii iii'oi'e or' less close to the plants, to vary the inclination of the disks from-vertieat positions and to vary the angle which the disks niake with the row of plants.

One object is to make a disk'perforin two anct-ions,-one to sei-ape grass away from the plants and to prevent heavy particles or olods of dirt from falling ou the plants 'when the disk is used with a niveep or other plow.

One object of this invention is to provide 2 adjusting divines to regulate the amount of diri. to be brown to the plants when the Y skis used with a sweep or other plow.

Other objects and ad vautagres willlie fully explained 1n the folloiviine description and the' invention will he more particularly pointed ont in the claims.

Reference is had to the act-.oinpaiiying drawings which form a part of this' applica- Y tion. g 435 .Figure .lis a front elevation of the disk with the attaching' devices. Fig. 2 is a side elevation' of the saine. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the saine, short-'ing- 'the manner ot using the disk with a sweep. l1`i' l and Figa 5 are detail plan views of portions of the attaching devices, illustrating the manner of adjustingy the saine. Fig. 6 shows a variation in the piece which is to he attached to a plow beam or enltivatoistock.

45 Similar characters of reference are used 2 to indicate the same parts throughout the several views.

The adlusting devices are adapted to secure an inclination o1' the disk, that is, to

permit a greater or less angle of the disk to a-vertieal position, and also to adjust thtl disk to a greater or less angle to the row of lants. 'lhe disk 1 is provided with hearlng 2 and shaft `3 operating therein. An

I5 angle liar l is secured on the shaft or spindle 3 by a nut An angle bar t3 is clamped on the angle bar 4 by ineans of aboli: 7 and not S. The angle. liar (t is twisted a quarter tui-n near the end to prepare the part 9 to be-attaelied to the beam niece l0. The bnr 6 is twisted and the bar 1'0 is similarly twisted to forni a joint for the inclination of the disk l. The liars GY and l() Vare clamped togetliei hy a holt 11 and nut 1:2.V 'Elke liar 1Q' inay he attached to a plow beam or steek 13 of :in iY ordinary construction' hy'elamps 14 and bolts 15. To provide for moving the disk farther from or closer to the row of plants, the bar 4 has a series of holes 16 and.

the har t3 has a slot 17 therein so that fire n'iit S may he released and the holt 7 placed at different adjustments. The'bars 4 and 6 can thus he lapped moreorless on each Utile?. i Y

With the adjusting derives shown this hat' l can he swuiw on the bolt l' t0 change the I angle of the disk to the row of plants and the hait3 izan be. swung on the holt Il to vaii: the angle ofrfinelination or the'l inclination of the disk from a vertical position. I f the disk is used with a sweep 1S the'dislovill eaieh the heavier partieles or clods which are heine; thrown by the sweep toward the plants and prevent the sanietroin falling on the plants. The disk thus acts as afender. The disk allows the liner'partieles or sofi, dii-t to pass under the back'cdge thereof toward the plants andthe aiiiou'iit. of dirt'.

allowed to tie thrown to the plants may be.

regulated by var ving the angle of the sweep to 'he row of plants and also by moving.

ita position of the clamps l-l on the plow heani. lt' more dirt is to he thrown to the plants, more the disk farther forward from the sweep. '1`o throw less dirt to the plants, niove'the disk hat-k or closer to the sweep.

, The front part of the disk arts as a scraper and the rear part of the disk acts as a fein cr.

The heani piece, or part to he attached to the plow lieaiu or stoek. may he constructed with a cylindrical portion 19, as shown in Fig. t so that the adjustments may be attaehed in the same manner as plows are attaelied to eiiltivatois.

Having fully deserilwd niy invention, what. l claim as new and desire to .secure by Letters' lateiit. is,- t. i

'l. ln a plow having a beam, a revolving disk and means for attaching the saine to said la-aiulo forni a combined scraper and fender, .said liu-ans mmsisting of an angle har attached to 'said disk and having a horitio z'ntal'portion,. a second angle bar having a horizontal portion and a vertical portion, .means for clamping thesaid horizontal por= tions at' different an les t'o 'each other, and at' different poi-nts adjustmentll'on'gitudinally o rneac'h other,.said-last mentioned bar having' a portion-of said vertical ortion twisted a uarter turn,` a beam piece avinv a portion t ereof twisted a quarter turn and.

attached to 'the twistedportion of said last named har, and means for attaching said beam piece to saidbeam at different adjnstments. Y

2. In' a plow having abeam, revolving disk-and' means for attaching the same to said beam in front of thejcplow to form a' combined scraper and fen er, said means consisting of a disk member attached to said" disk. a beam' member attaclicd to said beam.

and an adjusting member attached to said beam member and to said disk member, the

.joint with said beam member permitting adjustment to vary the inclination of said diskl and the joint with said disk member permitting adjustmentto "ary the angle said disk makes with the vrow of piants and to vary the distance between the disk and the Plants 3. In a plow having a beam, a revolving diskhnd means'for, attaching the' same to said beam in front of the low tp form a combinedscraper` and fen er, said means consisting of a disk member attached to said disk and havin a horizontal'portion with a plurality of oles lthexetl;nongli,- a beam member and means for attaching the same to the beam at different adjustments, an

adjusting member having a vertical portion attachedto said beam member and a horiv zontai portion having a slot therein, and a bolt and a nuttherefor attaching said adjusting member to said disk member the joint. of said adjusting member@ said team member Aermit-ting inclination of said .disk and. the Joint between the adjsting member and the disk member permittin variations of the ann-fle said disk makes wi the plants or row o. 1`lante and permitting longitudi- 'nal' adjnstmens of said members. on each other. I

In testimony whereof, I set my hand in the presence of two witnesses, this 17 th day of May, 191.0. A
